Network theory and SARS: predicting outbreak diversity
Many infectious diseases spread through populations via the networks formed by physical
contacts among individuals. The patterns of these contacts tend to be highly heterogeneous. …

Perspective: evolution and detection of genetic robustness
Robustness is the invariance of phenotypes in the face of perturbation. The robustness of
phenotypes appears at various levels of biological organization, including gene expression, …
